Thomas Abate was born right outside of the Boston area in Lawrence, Massachusetts. He began acting at the age of 10 when he worked in school plays. His original intent in coming to Hollywood was to pursue a music career. Tommy grew up with no father and lived homeless on the streets with his mother for years, who has since then passed away. He lived in many states. Indiana, Florida, Illinios, Maine, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and of course his home state of Massachusetts. Now he resides in West Hollywood and is in strong pursuit of his acting career.
